At this morning's Paradox Interactive Gamescom press conference at a hotel in Cologne, the Swedish publisher revealed it's own take on Steam and Xbox Live with Paradox Connect. The online system will be available in game in a variety of upcoming Paradox Interactive titles supporting Achievements across the different games which add Paradox Points - an equivalent to the Xbox Live Gamerscore. The system will integrate with the forums and Facebook, enhancing the existing lively community of Paradox gamers on their forums, and reaching out to new players too. The system will also allow for easy purchasing of DLC.

We'll have more on Paradox Connect and the other items announced at the press conference in a full round up later today.
